I have wanted to float the Vossburg section above that area but I haven't had the opportunity. I have a spare pontoon boat so if you don't have a boat and want to try it, it's available. I will likely make it an overnighter. If anyone wants in on this, give me a shout.

Beep,

A float from Mehoopany to Tunkhannock would cover the Vosburg stretch. A real nice float.

You may get some topwater action early and late, but under average conditions most of the action is likely going to be on a streamer or nymph. Start tying your minnows, crayfish and helgrammites. That's just my experience and your mileage may vary.

I fished the apple tree road launch section yesterday morning; from 1st light for about 3+ hours, untill it got too sunny/hot. Only caught one small one, had several tugs on my line but couldn't hook em. Another local there was fishing lures and did the same, although the day before he caught some nice ones and had a lot of action. It's a good wading area. The water was really warm, don't have a temp though. It was my first time there.John

It is indeed a good wading section. I've fished it a few times with Afishinado and usually done well. I'd guess the water temps, by this afternoon, were probably in the mid 80s.

With respect to the poor fishing, I suppose it's worth remembering that smallies are "wild fish" and, just like wild trout streams, bass rivers can turn off and on. One day yuh slay 'em, the next day it's as if there are no fish in the river.Don't listen to the oft made claim that you can "aways" catch huge numbers of smallies or - my personal pet-peeve - that "hundred fish days are common" on the Susquehanna or any other PA river. Sure, you can have great days.....but it isn't always great.
